More than ten thousand season ticket holders for a team that plays in Serie D. It’s true, in Catania they dreamed again. And it doesn’t matter that the stage is that of Amateurs: when the ascent is more difficult and the wind blows in your face, faith sustains you. Etna’s fans have no limits, granite. Nothing can dent him despite the troubled months, between court papers and uncertainties for the future. Nothing can dampen the rossoblù pride that flooded the stadium en masse to help the young club pick up where they left off.
Recent history has marked a painful break (failure) from the past, the new project was officially born in mid-July around the new president, Ross Pelligra. “The fans offer us support, enthusiasm and that trust that we must always cultivate and never squander – he said then -. Catania belongs to its people”. And the city responded with the same passion as always.
There is one fact that draws attention and explains what happened. It is not a miracle, but it is willpower, to never give up, not to surrender to the adversities of fate: the season ticket campaign recorded numbers never seen in Serie D. that belonged to Palermo for the 2019/2020 season.
The deadline for subscribing to the card expires on October 5th with the possibility of breaking the wall of eleven thousand units. Impressive numbers especially when compared to important squares like Bari (which in B has 7,640 season tickets) or Parma (more than 6,000 cards). In Serie A, the comparison raises the bar almost to clubs like Verona, more than Turin (about 4,000, according to the most recent data) and Salernitana (8,000 odds).
A crazy boom that Catania received with great joy, thanking everyone in the press release through which he put the numbers. “Catania fans have set a new record for season tickets in Serie D: 10,620 cards have already been subscribed. – reads the official note -. Catania SSD sincerely applauds all subscribers, including those who, although they cannot permanently guarantee the their presence in the stadium because they are far from Catania, they also wanted to express a concrete adhesion to the project of relaunching football of Rossazzurro “.
“Your leadership, dear fans, is a source of pride for us and a source of responsibility: we know that we have to improve every day, on and off the field, to live up to your passion, which is unprecedented in the history of football. series. The exceptionality of the data also emerges with reference to the trend and numerous results in Series C, B and A. This is the umpteenth confirmation of the extraordinary potential of the city of Catania “.
On the wave of enthusiasm for the great turnout of the public came the first two victories of the season: 2-0 over Ragusa and 2-1 over San Luca. Two successes that keep Etna in charge of Group I of Serie D together with Real Aversa, Lamezia Terme and Vibonese waiting for the next championship challenge on the calendar in Licata.
